Error: You must `brew link pcre' before nginx can be installed

I've already seen this post. And it didn't seem to solve my issue. Here's what I get when I try to run brew install nginx --with-passenger

Error: You must `brew link pcre' before nginx can be installed

So I then tried cd /usr/local, followed by ls -l. All of the files are mine. So I don't see the need to call sudo chown $(whoami) /usr/local/<sub-foldername> I've then tried doing brew link pcre and yet I get another error. Error: Could not symlink bin/pcregrep I'm not really sure what to do now. Any ideas?

I was able to get it working by forcing it with. brew link --overwrite pcre This would force the link and overwrite all conflicting files.
